Before I ask my question, I put on record my entry in the register of members’ interests: I hold a bank nurse contract with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

I suppose that this follows on a bit from what Carol Mochan asked. Are there any particular amendments or broad areas of focus that you would like the Scottish Government to prioritise as the bill progresses?

Thank you. I thank the witnesses for attending today. Your evidence has been very helpful to the committee’s scrutiny of these stage 2 amendments.

I suspend briefly for a changeover of panels.

I call Emma Harper.

Does Sandesh Gulhane have any further questions?

I thank the witnesses for their evidence. It has been a good contribution to the committee’s scrutiny of the proposed amendments at stage 2.

Next week, the committee will continue to take oral evidence on the Scottish Government’s proposed stage 2 amendments to the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill with three further panels of witnesses.

That concludes the public part of our meeting today.

Thank you.

Agenda item 2 is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take item 6 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Good morning, and welcome to the 26th meeting in 2024 of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee. I have received apologies from Ruth Maguire, and Gordon MacDonald is attending as her substitute. As such, agenda item 1 is to ask Gordon MacDonald to declare any interests relevant to the committee’s remit.

If no one else wants to comment on that, I will go to Emma Harper.

Fiona Davies, do you want to add anything?
